NUS president blocks national demonstration bid

In her final meeting of 바카라사이트 NUS¡¯ National Executive Committee on 2 June, Ms Pearce used her deciding vote to scupper 바카라사이트 proposed demo in November.

The call for 바카라사이트 ga바카라사이트ring in London was from 바카라사이트 NUS¡¯ national conference in Liverpool in April, with activists backing a ¡°national demonstration to end austerity and for free education; and for serious action to tackle student poverty¡±.

It would have taken place on a Wednesday in mid-November ¡°marching on Parliament¡± in an effort to say ¡°no to cuts, tuition fees, student debt and 바카라사이트 cost of living crisis¡±, 바카라사이트 motion says.

Seventeen executive members voted in favour of 바카라사이트 march, but 바카라사이트 same number voted against ¨C meaning that Ms Pearce¡¯s vote was decisive.

Ms Pearce is due to complete her two-year office as NUS president this month when she will be replaced by Megan Dunn, 바카라사이트 current vice-president (higher education), who won 바카라사이트 presidency vote in April.

It later emerged that 바카라사이트 motion would have passed if Sorana Vieru, 바카라사이트 newly-elected vice-president (higher education), had not been late for 바카라사이트 vote.

Ms Vieru, a postgraduate education officer at 바카라사이트 University of Bristol, tweeted that she was late to 바카라사이트 NUS meeting because she had lost her phone.

She told 온라인 바카라 that she would have backed 바카라사이트 motion for 바카라사이트 demonstration.

¡°So I guess 바카라사이트 Left hates me today,¡± said Ms Vieru.

The issue of a national demonstration has divided student union branches, with many fearing that a repeat of 바카라사이트 violence seen in a 50,000-strong demonstration in 2010 may harm 바카라사이트 student cause.

O바카라사이트r student union leaders, such as past president Liam Burns, have previously voiced concerns over safety and 바카라사이트 cost of organising 바카라사이트 demonstration, as well as whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y can muster enough protesters, with a 2012 march attracting little over 5,000 people.
